I don't like reading through poems. However, for those who like it, I think they will love it. This book is about poems from a song writer, so these poems might be really good and worth a try. Congratulations on BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

This is a marvelous review. And although I don't know much about poetry, what I sampled in the pages of this book is quite lovely. I agree with the reviewer that including musical notations adds a beautiful element to the verses and that the artwork is quite extraordinary. Congratulations to Poet Black on her achievement and BOTD.

I'm a poet myself, so it's always a good day for me when I find a poetry book to read. Many songs come from poetry that uses figurative language that evoke imagery. I cannot wait to see how the author converts her lyrics into poetry form. Congrats to the author for receiving the honor of BOTD.

Your review is very informative, Alexander Victoria! Sampling, like you, I noticed the captivating visuals and creative use of fonts. I also like the poetic style, even though the first poem I read felt full of sadness. But I agree that this is a great book that will appeal to fans of poetry and music.

Poems are beautiful to read so I’m looking forward to digging into this book to experience the talent of the author in traversing the realms of love, the entrapment of fear, the weight of societal judgements, and the therapeutic act of relinquishing the past through poems. Such interesting themes.

I'm not a big poetry fan, and the poems in this book are a little heavy for me. However, for poetry enthusiasts, this book is beautifully laid out and will be a great source of enjoyment and introspection.

"The Sound Of Broken Wand" unfolds as a compilation of poetic creations by Tiki Black, a renowned singer-songwriter. Opting to crystallize her contemplations and encounters into the art of poetry, Black seamlessly integrates musical notations with her verses, adding a layer of depth that particularly resonates with individuals attuned to the world of music. In verses that dance through the tapestry of emotions, these poems explore the realms of love, grapple with the entrapment of fear, bear the weight of societal judgments, and delicately unveil the therapeutic act of letting go of the past. I'm not into reading books of poetry but this one has piqued my interest and with it being temporarily free on Amazon, I chose to decide to read it and have put it on my shelf. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

Poetry has never been my thing, but this one, by the author Tiki Black, blends it with musical annotations in her verses that touch deep within the soul while delving into themes of self-identity, fear, and love. I will give this one a chance, and I hope to enjoy it. Congratulations on BOTD!

“The Sound of the Broken Wand” by Tiki Black is a poetic compilation by the author, a well-known singer-songwriter. Th poems cover the depths of love, fear, societal judgements and the beneficial act of relinquishing the past. It is a short read of 100 pages but it contains wonderful poems that cause readers to think through the messages. While poetry is not my favorite genre, I would like to read this entire book because of the words of wisdom Tiki Black has communicated. Very good review.
